There is a certain extra spiritous vibe around Toronto’s historic and vibrant St. Lawrence Market as the days count down towards Christmas, and on Friday morning Toronto Mayor John Tory visited the Market at Front and Jarvis Streets to help promote their Holiday hours. 

The City announced to better serve customers, the St. Lawrence Market Complex will operate on extended hours for the holiday season. The South Market will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on

“The St. Lawrence Market is a staple in our city as it provides residents and visitors a place to shop and explore,” said Mayor John Tory. “Over the holidays, the market creates a community atmosphere that can be enjoyed by anyone who loves delicious, local food and entertainment. I look forward to shopping alongside many of Toronto’s residents and visitors at the market today and hope that during the holiday hours, visitors of the market take advantage of the seminars, cooking classes and extended hours,” explained the passionate Mayor.

The South Market’s 64 merchants are known for their high-quality food and specialty items. Many Torontonians consider the St. Lawrence Market “the place to go” to prepare for their holiday entertaining, choosing from the wide variety of cheeses, meats, produce and prepared foods to entertain and feed their guests.
